Observation Form

Humber Estuary European Marine Site (EMS) Recreational Disturbance Recording Form

Recreational activities that take place around the Humber Estuary can sometimes result in the disturbance of birds within the European Marine Site. It is useful to record all activities, whether they cause a disturbance or not, so that an accurate picture of the current recreational activities around the Humber can be established. The purpose of this document is not necessarily to restrict any of the activities listed below, but rather to map disturbance ‘hot spots’ around the estuary and highlight which activities could benefit from additional guidance information.

Please record any activities or disturbances you observed. You do not need to include your name if you do not wish to, but please fill in the rest of the form as best as possible. If you do provide your contact details, we may wish to speak to you for further information.
